Expect a unique three day indoor/outdoor festival designed to honor Tom in his hometown. The location of the festival (Heartwood Soundstage) has a warm and friendly park-like atmosphere with a friendly attendees from across the country. Heartwood’s two stages have a capacity of 3500, and features an inside stage that is one the finest performing soundstage’s in the country.

Traditionally, October weather is wonderful. Highs generally are in the low 80’s, with lows in the upper 60’s. With today’s unpredictable weather, one should be prepared for the worse case scenarios, from highs in the 90’s (possible, but not likely), to really cool weather (not likely). Sunscreen and a hat is strongly recommended, and it’s best to drink lots of water.

There will be a number of high quality food trucks offering many varieties of food at the festival. In addition, we will be serving reasonably priced wine and beer, including this years version of Among The Wildflowers beer from one of four craft breweries in town, Swamphead Brewery.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. While there is seating in the inside soundstage, attendees are cycled though after each performance during setup / breakdown.

All passes will be available for pick up at the festival entrance during normal festival hours.

Refunds are available until 30 days before festival. If you need a refund please contact us via our form, email or phone number.

No, Coolers are not allowed, with an exception for parents of young children. Those coolers will be searched.
